DNA Microarray-based test systems
  • Achieving High Quality Data

Dr. Roland Toder r.toder.consulting Germany
2
Biochips or arrays with various biological
material as tagged probes
Array formats are divided on the basis of feature
density. Macroarrays have less than 500
features/sqcm microarrays have more than 500
features/sqcm.

    medicine (haplotyping)
  • Human Genetics

  • Transplantation medicine
  • HLA-typing haplotyping - homo-/heterozygotes)
  • Cancer
  • evaluation of aggressiveness part. tumors
  • Pharma
  • Elimination of drug candidates likely to produce
    unacceptable side effects.
  • Proteins and their operation in biological
    pathways of disease and enlist them as targets
    for the development of new and better medicines
  • pharmacodynamics (amount of metabolizing enzymes)
  • Cancer
  • subtyping of cancers and stage (B-cell lymphoma)
  • cancer treatment (chemotherapy metastasis)
  • Infection
  • stage of disease (infection) depending on the
    enzyme-cascade

Expression profiling approach in Diagnostics
  • First step Broad approach (many genes) in order
    to identify relevant genes
  • this is the most critical step where the quality
    of the data is important.
  • Example
  • Screening of women which have had breast cancer
    in order to find out whether they do need
    systemic drug therapy to prevent tumor spread
    (metastasis) after surgery.
  • 100 women where screened with a chip containing
    25,000 genes
  • A70 gene signature was sufficient to indicate
    whether metastasis do appear soon.

SNP Detection
  • By creating microarrays that detect
    disease-associated DNA sequence changes
    (polymorphisms or mutations), this technology may
    be used to identify groups of DNA sequence
    changes that predispose patients to certain
    diseases.

Human variation at the level of single nucleotide
polymorphisms may hold the key to effective
disease treatment.

Examples in medical DNA diagnostics
HLA typing Chip from Genescan Europe AG
  • DQA1 of the chip as an example
  • HLA-DQA1 22 alleles
  • Sequence-specific oligos out of 13 polymorphic
    regions of exon 2 and 3 of the HLA-DQA1-gene on
    the chip combination of 3 oligonucleotides per
    allele allow the typing of the 22 alleles

Using Microarray Data for Drug Discovery What
is necessary?
  • Standards and Controls
  • More stringent requirements for process control
    and methodology needed
  • Measurable repeatability
  • Measurable reproducibility
  • Process definition
  • Quality metrics
  • Process must be robust to stand up to regulatory
    scrutiny

What is necessary to obtain quality data in the
detection process?
  • Right Resolution
  • For proper sampling of spot data
  • Signal to Noise Ratio
  • To better discriminate between real data and
    system noise
  • Repeatability
  • For replicable results
  • Statistical Analysis
  • Proper metrics for spot quality, and for
    determining data trends

18
Internal controls for each spot will be necessary
for diagnostics
  • A false positive or false negative result in
    diagnostics can be fatal
  • So what degree of stability, security, and
    safety of data acquisition should be provided
    for an application biochip in medical
    diagnostics?
  • (FDA/international standards)

The quality of data acquired through the analysis
system is therefore the most crucial and
critical step.
19
Image Sampling Right Resolution
Simplest Case T-Test of means for 2 spots.
  • Assumptions Normal distribution, 2-tailed test.
  • Statistical sampling can be determined a priori
    with a power analysis.
  • Power 1- ?
  • Where ? is the probability of failing to reject
    the null hypothesis when it is false. In other
    words, failing to find a difference that actually
    exists.

21
Repeatability and Reproducibility
  • Reproducible and predictable performance of a
    system is essential for providing the best data
    and process control.
  • Typical laser scanners produce R2 values from.60
    to .98
  • CCD
  • Sampling statistics
  • Constant Gain of the detector
  • R2 values from .95 to .98
  • slide to slide

Meaning 95 of the data is attributable to the
experimental conditions and only 5 must be
determined with repeated scans.

23
Quality Data - Signal to Noise (SNR)
  • Critical for detecting small changes in signal or
    detecting weak signals
  • Noise in the acquisition system makes
    determination of significant data at low levels
    difficult.
  • Background subtraction methods affect the
    linearity of the data

Low level gene expression is difficult to
determine unless system has low noise and high
data integrity.
24
SNR is the foundation of image quality.

Defined as the mean of the signal divided by its
standard deviation.
25
CCD Integration Time Yields More Photons
  • A CCD device can detect approximately 400x more
    photons than a laser scanner.
  • Simultaneously sampling 200,000 pixels with the
    CCD allows a much longer collection time, and
    therefore many more photons/pixel are detected.
  • This greater number of photons yields a high
    signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which is a key
    determinant of a high spot and image quality.

Ratio of Cy3/Cy3 0.987 ?0.0321 (CV 0.03)
  • This test reveals scanner statistical noise
    independent of intensity differences on the
    slide.
  • Same slide scanned 2x on each scanner.
  • Same area compared from each scan (background, no
    spots).
  • Overlay each replicate wavelength and measure the
    pixel ratio coefficient of variation (CV).
  • There is good agreement between the predicted and
    actual measurement accuracy for both scanners.

27
Data Quality Coefficient of Variation of the
Ratios (CVR)
  • The CVR is a collapsed measure of both the
    quality of the chemistry and the quality of the
    image.
  • Statistical analysis of spot intensity gives a
    measurement of the relative expression of the
    gene (the ratio between the 2 probes used in the
    experiment) but also the confidence in the
    measurement.
  • The CVR is the normalized variance for the spot
    ratio, expressed as percentage of the ratio.

28
Coefficient of Variation of the Ratios (CVR)
Defined as the standard deviation of the pixel
ratios of the two channels divided by the mean
pixel ratio of the two channels.
A low CVR value indicates high confidence in the
ratio.

Coefficient of Variation of the RatioCVR
  • Strong indicator of spot quality
  • Strong indicator of experiment quality
  • Can be used to weight spot data for inclusion in
    bioinformatics analysis
  • With proper imaging, the ratio variability within
    each spot is predictive of the variability
    between experiments
  • Can be used to reduce the need for experimental
    repeats

This tool will be very important in routine
analysis where a maximum reliability of each
array is required.

Conclusions
  • DNA-arrays when used in diagnostics and pharma
    have to meet a high degree of reproducibility,
    reliability and quality in order to become a
    standard tool.
  • The production of chips and necessary consumables
    such as labeling systems washing and detection
    systems, scanners and software have to meet
    established certification systems such as ISO
    GMP and FDA.
